I don't know much about the commercial goat milk industry, but I forgot to mention that in the dairy cow industry calves are taken away from their mothers soon after birth so that none of that wonderful milk gets "wasted" on calves, and it all can go to feed humans. The cows bellow and bellow for their calves for days, it's dreadful to hear. The calves are fed on artificially boosted formula and are then either killed for meat or if female, grown up to lead the same existence as their mothers. Some are raised in very confined conditions to produce veal.
Did any other Australians on this site, or maybe even people in other countries if any of our news gets there, notice that last week our very own Gina Reinhart, the richest woman in the world, is about to use her personal "charity", the Hope Foundation, to establish large dairy organisations to supply dairy based baby formula to China? Not very charitable to the cows and their calves or to the babies of China, whose mothers are presumably able to produce what is really "natural" for babies ........
Sometimes the mind just boggles and boggles and boggles ......
Why do we drink milk?
